Cutscene Replacer

Replaces FFXIV cutscenes, allowing the skipping of cutscenes that are normally not skippable (among other things).

Note! This is all experimental, quick-and-dirty stuff that will probably make your computer explode, poison your cat, curse your offspring for seven generations and make Zalgo haunt you for the rest of your days.

Use at your own risk and don't blame me if something bad happens. Oh, and using a third-party program like this is obviously against the FFXIV User Agreement...

Usage

Run the precompiled .jar in a directory with 0a0000.win32.dat0 and 0a0000.win32.index files. That's all. If everything worked, most of the cutscenes in the base game should now be replaced by another one.

Some further tips to avoid breaking the game:

• backup the 0a0000.win32.dat0 file before running the program
• the required data files are in game/sqpack/ffxiv directory in the game install directory
• don't run the program from the game install directory, but copy the required 0a0000.win32.dat0 and 0a0000.win32.index files to a directory where you have the .jar file
• after running the program, copy the changed 0a0000.win32.dat0 file to the game install directory
• the program will write a couple of temporary files, which can be removed after the program has run

If something goes wrong, you should be able to just replace the 0a0000.win32.dat0 file from the backup and everything should still work.
